– Crimetime

'Serious, atmospheric, a writer of considerable power.'

– Patricia Duncker, author of Hallucinating Foucault

'Beautifully written and achingly romantic, this dazzling gothic-tinged thriller takes us deep into a labyrinth of secrets, lies, and deceptions. It’s a stunning debut!'

‘Elegant, elegiac, enigmatic.’

'A cryptic, beguiling puzzle-box of a book...a mesmeric exploration of guilt in the vein of Vertigo or The Secret History, with the frantic nightmare-logic of a thriller.'

– David Gilbert, author of & Sons
